The only obligation the phone company takes on with an unlisted number
is that their information services will not reveal the number.  I feel
very strongly that anyone who calls me has given up their right to
remain anonymous, and the caller identification should work for all
numbers.

As a compromise, let me suggest this.  Allow the owner of an unlisted
number to specify whether or not the number will be revealed when they
originate a call.  Allow the owner of any other line to configure the
line to automatically reject calls from such an unlisted number.
